- Univision anchor Jorge Ramos was physically bounced from a Donald Trump press conference in Dubuque last night for shouting questions out of turn.[Vox / Dara Lind]
- Ramos was eventually allowed back into the presser, but not before a Trump supporter in the hallway told Ramos, a US citizen, to "Get out of my country!"[YouTube via Univision]
- Jorge Ramos is a BFD in Latino media. Former Bush adviser Matthew Dowd compares him to Walter Cronkite, which is probably an overstatement but not by much.[New York Times / Jackie Calmes]
- Ramos has been trying to get Trump on his show for months; Trump responded to a letter requesting an interview by posting the letter, including Ramos' cell number, on Instagram.[Deadline Hollywood / Domenic Patten]
- Interestingly, a number of reporters said Ramos deserved some of the blame for last night's confrontation. A media critic at the Washington Post compared Ramos to Trump — saying they're both "conflict junkies."[Washington Post / Michael E. Miller]
- Poor Jeb Bush, who appeared to be hoping this would turn the media against Trump for good, is baffled by this development.[Mediaite / Josh Feldman]
- Ramos is an outspoken supporter of immigration reform, and sees Trump's rhetoric and positions as "personal" to himself and Latinos. Political journalists think that's bias; Ramos thinks it's sticking up for his community.[Vox / Dara Lind]
- (This is your semiregular reminder that journalistic objectivity is the product of the particular historical circumstances of the early 20th century.)[Slate / Matt Yglesias]
- Tonight at 9 pm ET, Ramos will appear on fellow Trump target Megyn Kelly's show, where one hopes they will make a lot of toupee jokes at each other.[Talking Points Memo / Katherine Krueger]
